Jerusalem: According to Zionist troops, Zionist troops struck Hamas military facilities in the Gaza Strip on Saturday in retaliation for launching rockets from Palestinian enclaves run by Islamist movements. After the strike, a ball of fire flew into the air and dark smoke drifted over the territory. Hamas spokesman Hazem Kasem said the air raid in southeastern Gaza was “an extension of the attack on Jerusalem’s Palestinian territory and occupied west coast” after three Palestinians were killed on Friday. Said.
Twelve Palestinians were also injured in the same incident during a Zionist raid at Genin, home of the armed Palestinian faction on the west bank of the Jordan River. Palestinian news agency Wafa said the man was killed when Zionist troops fired at their car. Zionist troops said soldiers fired during a weapon-searching operation. One of the dead was the commander of Hamas, the group said, vowing that the killings “will not be punished.”
Kasem did not mention whether Saturday’s airstrikes caused casualties. Zionist troops said a few hours ago that an air raid siren rang near Ashkelon, a city in the south of Zionists, and the blocked Gaza Strip. In April, Zionist fighters also attacked Gaza after Palestinian armed groups launched rockets from the territory.
The exchange took place after almost a month of deadly violence focused on the compound of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the flash point of East Jerusalem, which was annexed by the Zionist, the third holy place in Islam. The 2.3 million Gaza coastal excursions dominated by poor Hamas have been under Zionist blockade since 2007.
Last year, Zionist entities and Hamas fought an 11-day war partially caused by anxiety about Al-Aqsa Mosque’s compounds. Zionist entities occupied the West Bank and East Jerusalem during the Six-Day War of 1967. After that, it annexed East Jerusalem with a move that was not recognized by most of the international community. – AFP
